1. Since I installed BIAB and RealBand, two weeks ago I've got three Blue Screen of Death on my system, something extremely rare on my computer (so rare, in fact, that it's the first time it has happened)



If trying to use the Drag and Drop window of either program at the same time the other one is opened, we must set one of the two programs to use MME (Windows WDM) sound drivers and not try to use ASIO on both programs at the same time. ASIO doesn't like that. I usually set BiaB to use MME sound drivers when changing it over to the DAW window.

Even if not using the DAW window feature, you may experience this kind of thing when closing one of the two programs and opening the other program too quickly. You may find that you have to give the first program more time to totally release the soundcard drivers and such before starting the other program, which will first start looking to activate them.

2. On a typical two hours session with any of the programs I get no less than one or two "Access violation" crashes (ussually on NTDLL.DLL or RDAS16.DLL lybraries) on the system. This forces me to restart the operating system losing all the work previously done.



If the above applies, it likely applies to this as well.

These are the most frustating problems, but I've found several minor problems that makes using the program a very irritating experience in some cases, for example:

3. Some jazz-bass Realtracks in BIAB (ex: Bass Samba, RT #719) will produce and obstinato-quarter high notes from time time.



Please document this with the full RealTrack names of the files involved, if you can, and send the info to beta@pgmusic.com along with the attached songfile. This may help support get to the bottom of these kind of problems a bit faster so they can develop an update patch and publish the fix -- if they are able to duplicate the problem. Sometimes an mp3 file of the program doing something like this can be valuable, too.

4. In BIAB, muting a Soloist Realtrack in bar #1 (through F5) doesnt mute the notes played on bar 0; on these cases you'll hear part of he line played by the RT just before bar 1



Known problem that was reported during beta. Don't know what the timeline for a possible fix would be, but let us pray that it is sooner than later.

5. "Mute Melody during Middle Chorus" function doesn't work with Realtracks.



Maybe they should change that comand to read, "Mute MIDI Melody during Middle Choruses" ti orevent the confusion. To Mute a RealTrack, Rightclick at the bar and choose Bar Settings and mute from the window that opens. Don't miss the Chorus picker dropdown at the top of that window.

6. In BIAB, Resizing the main program Window drives to many problems when returning to the normal size (Scrolling bars doesn't work).



You should have seen it during the beta (Grin). This is another one to report directly to the development team, though.

7. In Realband the scrolling on the "Chord Windows" is very slow and doesn't work from time to time.



Ditto. Report this directly.

Thanks for the thorough explanation and including all the pertinent information about your system, that really helps out, I think. Sometimes getting to the bottom of a forum poster's problem can seem like pulling teeth in that regard.
